On most boats it is important to have the head of the mainsail as close to the top of the mast as possible. Furthermore it must also be quick to attach and disconnect the main halyard, even with cold and wet fingers. So a shackle or a bowline are not the best solutions. The best is the method is the one shown in this video. The bobble is nice, but not strictly necessary. A double figure of 8 knot (figure of 16?) will do. The bobble or knot is never removed so you cannot lose the halyard through the mast. I usually shorten the main halyard a few cm/in at the start of each season to move the wear spots.

Join us for an exciting sailboat race at the Frosties Regatta 2025, where perfect execution at the starting gun is crucial for success. On board a J109 sailboat, we experience the thrill of keelboat racing on Strangford Lough, a beautiful sailing destination in Northern Ireland. The J109 is a popular choice for performance sailing, known for its speed and agility, making it a great competitor against other sailboats like the A35. As we navigate through the lough, we showcase the sailing lifestyle and the stunning scenery of Strangford Lough, a favorite among sailors who enjoy coastal sailing and regatta events. With a focus on bottom up boats and the BupB community, we highlight the importance of teamwork and strategy in sailboat racing. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting out, this video offers a unique perspective on the world of sailing, from the thrill of racing to the joy of sailboat life. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we take you on an unforgettable journey through the Frosties Regatta 2025.
